When I write a bug it becomes the core gameplay

The plot content of "The Legend of Destiny Crouching Dragon" is quite rich, with a total of 200 generals and 30 cities.

Of course, there are also some more famous places in history scattered around each city.

If you look at the volume of strategy games, this is nothing at all. After all, the "Three Kingdoms" series often has seven to eight hundred generals and more than a hundred cities.

But "The Legend of Wolong" is a small-scale game. When the gameplay is completely emasculated, 200 generals and 30 cities are already quite impressive.

This game still takes place on a large map of the ancient Three Kingdoms similar to "Three Kingdoms", but the scale of the map has been reduced.

The game adopts a turn-based system. Every three months, players and other NPCs can take action once, which is displayed in the form of "Spring/Summer/Autumn/Winter 221".

At the end of each year, the major events of the year will be displayed in a concentrated manner.

Different from general strategy games, in the game "The Legend of Wolong", players can do very little and can only choose among a few limited actions, which means that each round ends very quickly. .

Even counting from the time when Dong Zhuo came to Beijing in 189 to the Autumn Wind of Wuzhangyuan in 234, it was only a mere 40 years. According to the speed of this game, the whole game can be completed in almost an hour.

This time can be even shorter if the player chooses to start later or makes decisions quickly.

This is fundamentally different from the kind of strategy games that are often played from 9 a.m. to 8 a.m.

If you want to extend the player's game time, it mainly depends on the player to keep restarting and exploring different directions and possibilities.

From this point of view, "The Legend of Wolong" feels less like "Romance of the Three Kingdoms" and more like "Plague Company".

Similar to some classic Three Kingdoms strategy games, "The Legend of Wolong" can also choose the starting year, but it is not divided by major events such as "Dong Zhuo's Entry into Beijing", "The Battle of Hulao Pass", and "The Battle of Guandu" of.

Instead, they are divided based on Zhuge Liang's age and experience.

The first stage is called "Don't use Hidden Dragon", and the starting time is 189 years.

The major event in the world during this period was "Dong Zhuo's entry into Beijing". At this time, Zhuge Liang was only eight years old and had just lost his father. He followed his uncle Zhuge Xuan to take up his post in Yuzhang. Later, the Eastern Han Dynasty court sent someone to replace Zhuge Xuan's position, and Zhuge Xuan went to Yuzhang again. Liu Biao defected to Jingzhou.

The second stage is called "Gongpeng Nanyang", which started in 197.

The major event in the world during this period was "Yuan Shu proclaimed himself emperor". Cao Cao's crusade against Zhang Xiu failed, and Yuan Shao occupied the four states of Ji, Qing, You, and Bing. At this time, Zhuge Xuan passed away, and the young Zhuge Liang lived in seclusion in Longzhong.

The third stage is called "Wolong comes out of the mountain" and starts in 207.

The major event in the world during this period was "Three Visits to the Thatched Cottage". Cao Cao defeated Wuhuan, unified the north, and prepared to conquer Liu Biao in the south. At this time, Zhuge Liang began to participate in world affairs.

The fourth stage is called "The Minister of Tuogu" and the starting time is 223 years.

The major events in the world during this period were that Cao Cao and Liu Bei died of illness one after another. As prime minister, Zhuge Liang began to conquer Menghuo in the south and the Central Plains in the north.

Players can choose any of the stages to start the game, but the goal of completing the level is the same, which is to complete the final goal of "Kuang Fu Han Room".

The story background of this game can be seen as a magically modified version of the Three Kingdoms. Demons are rampant and possess these historical figures. The goal of these demons is to kill two crucial destiny men: Liu Bei and Zhuge Liang. !

And this is also the origin of the name "The Legend of Wolong".

As Zhuge Liang, the player can mainly perform two operations.

The first is the conventional internal affairs and military gameplay.

When there are other generals in the player's force, different internal affairs and military tasks can be arranged for them based on the attributes of these generals.

However, the specific execution of these generals mainly depends on system calculations. Players can only give a general direction and cannot operate specific details.

The second is the original gameplay of the game, called "Wolong Strategy".

As the man of destiny and Mr. Wolong, Zhuge Liang has seven unique "Wolong Strategies", all of which have very powerful effects.

"Star Gazing": You can continuously view various data and detailed status of the target general within 1 year.

"Tips": You can give a certain strategy to a specific person, which may enhance his internal affairs or military capabilities, and may also affect the AI's decision-making and actions.

"Plowing": It can greatly increase farm income and grain production.

"War of Words": You can try to persuade the enemy to temporarily become allies or actively retreat.

"Fire attack": Under the right environment, it can directly cause huge damage to the enemy's army. The more narrow the area, the higher the power and the stronger the lethality.

"Empty City": When you have far fewer troops than the opponent, you can try to scare the opponent away, but if you use it continuously, the success rate will be greatly reduced.

"禳星": directly use the seven-star lamp to extend the life, but it will be interrupted if attacked by the enemy, and the success rate is not high.

Each round, players can choose three of the seven "Wolong Strategies" to execute, and then cooperate with regular internal affairs and military deployment. What they have to do after that is to watch the abilities of their men like "Plague Company" The fierce generals will continue to expand territories and conquer the world.

Gu Fan briefly read the basic gameplay of this game and found it pretty good.

If you look at it from a small-scale game, as long as you can complete these gameplays in a down-to-earth manner, it can be regarded as a good time-killing game.

A game can be played in less than an hour, and there are quite a variety of strategy options, so it’s no problem to have fun.

But since this is a game designed by Lilith, how could there be no pitfalls?

After thinking about it, Gu Fan said: "If I guessed correctly, the pitfalls of this game should be buried in this basic setting, right?

“According to the story background of this game, demons are running rampant and possessing historical figures, and the goal of these demons is to kill two crucial destiny men: Liu Bei and Zhuge Liang.

"In other words, players will attract hatred from the whole map at the beginning?"

Lilith was very happy: "Huh? You are so smart! You actually figured it out.

"That's right, in this game, NPCs don't give players any time to develop at all. I naturally set higher hatred values ​​for the two characters "Liu Bei" and "Zhuge Liang" so that they can attract the whole map. Hatred.

"In other words, other NPCs will kill them at all costs!"

Gu Fan pointed to the division of "four stages" in the design draft and asked: "Will this also be the case in the first and second stages?"

In the first stage, Zhuge Liang was only eight years old, and in the second stage, he just lived in seclusion in Longzhong. In these two stages, Zhuge Liang had no power of his own at all. Whenever a general came over, he would send it directly.

Lilith nodded: "Of course!"

Gu Fan was a little shocked: "Then doesn't the player have no way to survive at all?"

Lily didn't care at all: "It doesn't matter, I believe in the intelligence of the players. Isn't there still a "Wolong Strategy"? As long as it is used properly, there is still hope for survival."

Gu Fan was speechless for a moment. What a crazy setting!

It was like Zhu Yuanzhang was begging for food from a broken bowl near Huangjue Temple, and was suddenly surrounded by tens of thousands of Mongolian cavalry. Thinking about this scene, it makes people feel collapsed.

Obviously, these four stages seem to give players a choice, but no matter how they choose, the result will most likely be mail.

In the first two stages, although Zhuge Liang is young and has enough time, his men have no soldiers at all and are full of hatred. Any NPC that comes in can cause the game to end.

What about the last two stages? There are soldiers under his command, but at this time the enemy's power is also unprecedentedly powerful.

And the most important thing is that Zhuge Liang's lifespan is only so long, and it seems that he will only live to Wuzhangyuan in 234 years at most.

If you choose the fourth stage, Zhuge Liang can only live for another ten years. If he acts once every three months, he can only act 40 times at most. In this little time, how can we help the Han Dynasty?

Although "Wolong Ce" looks very powerful on the surface, after all, it is difficult for a clever woman to make a meal without straw.

In situations of balance of power or small disadvantage, Wolong Ce may be able to turn things around, but when the disadvantage is too great, this thing can't do much!

If the army really comes to the city, let alone three Crouching Dragon Strategies per round, thirty Crouching Dragon Strategies are useless!
